"Fatal Attraction"



The letter was typewritten
IBM Selectric, 
No final salutation
in italics
“With love”, 
but it was there nevertheless
invisible
electric
“VC”
Bleeding Bold Black 
thick cursive stroke
With knife point calculation
An arrow hit it’s bullseye
A flourish with intent
A nicotine stain 
at the...

As if in another lifetime 
Han discerned a sound and movement 
Stiffly rose to look about him

Crouching near him in the vessel!
That was now...

smiling; hello 

It's been a long day, tired off all the repetitive noise:

Move slow
Times fast
Why won't
You go

Her mocking salutation in salute.
Sudsing down your brains drawingboard in a victoriously ill repute.

Morning light shimmers
Floating dust welcome;
Excited salutation


World awakes
Noisy traffic;

Bamboo trees
Walkway sentinels;
Windy voices hum


Old plumeria tree
Speaks in vivid colours;
Reds, yellows, whites bloom


Lift alarm screaming
Fire drill...

Happiness.
That first hello, shyly voiced, a certain questioning
In its intonation, the rising ending signalling hope.
I wonder why? Why...

It is so true that good mothers are rare.
In the furious face of hunger,
And in the ferocious jaws of sickness
You have always been near.

Expressing my love for you,

Fragile Steps

charming, with angel wings.

Broken inside, fatherless, feathers
fall around her - weeping. Bullies - dressed
like sisters, tango around her tresses.

Pulling...teasing, stepmother leading.
Ribbons unwound.

I despise JOB INTERVIEWS 
Just like a stale ASPARAGUS SANDWICH!

The interviewer eyes me, anticipating the perfect  answer.
